Anyone have an annual circulation of over 10 million transactions
Everyone - As a question of personal interest, does any library or consortia running Koha have an annual circulation of over 10 million transactions. If so, could you please reply with library name and number of circs. Thanks.

It is impossible for single circulation desk have 10 million transactions annually. 10,000,000 transactions / 365 (days) / 8 (hours) / 60 (minutes) = 57 transactions / second It is impossible for any human being and machine. 2013/8/8 Kate Boyle <kate.boyle@railslibraries.info>:

Hi Anthony I think they were meaning 10 million for the entire library or consortium. Not a single desk. So to work it out, you would need at least 57 circulation stations doing one circ a second on average constantly for 8 hours a day, every day of the year. So more realistically, you would need a consortium or library that had at least 100 circ stations running. So a pretty big library/consortium.

Hi all, If you can discount for a moment the fact that LibLime Koha is not Koha, or at least agree that it is (or was) based on Koha, I think the South Central Library System of Wisconsin [1] runs one of the largest examples that you'll find [2] of any in-production system based on Koha technology. At least, we were the biggest fish in the pond when we started our migration a few years ago. The SCLS consortium consists of 53 library locations in 7 counties, having 830,000 shared bib records. We clear around one million circs per month, and 300,000 hold requests. Total issues and renewals for 2012: 11.97 million. Our heavy footprint was one of the reasons that LibLime added Plack to its fork, and that made a dramatic difference in performance. I understand that the Koha community also has also integrated Plack into mainstream Koha and made other performance enhancements, so I'm optimistic that Koha can scale up pretty high. Probably the key would be implementation in the right hardware and network environment (multiple platforms, optimized, with load balancing).
